IMPROVEMENT IN SASH-H-OLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,133, dated February3, 1874 application tiled August 21, 1873.

To all ywhom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT B. HUGUNIN, of New York, county and State ofNew York, have invented an Improvement in Sash-Holders, of which thefollowing is a specitieation:

My invention relates to certain improvements in sash-holders; audconsists in com-- bining a face-plate having an upward projection with arocking arm having' a depending projection, and pivoted above theprojection, with a spring interposed between the depending projection ofthe rocking arm and the up# ward projection of the faceplate, a rollerbcing held between the rocking arm and the faceplate, the object beingto obtain compactness and strength in the construction and operation ofthe working parts.

Figure l is an elevation, showin the application of' my invention. Fig.2 is a detailed view of working parts.

A is `the plate for attaching the working parts and securing them to thecasing. B is an arm secured to plate A. O is a projection on plate A,extending crosswise ot' it between the lugs, for attaching the arm B,and inward toward the hin ge-pin E. This projection may have anotherprojection, upon its surface toward the lower end of the plate, forsecuring the coiled spring F from moving about on the face of theprojection C. I), projection from lower end ot' arm B, corresponding inThe projection D may be permanently cast on arm B, or be a separatepiece, as shown in Fig. l of drawings. It has a projection, G, upon it,for securing the spring F. Il is a pin for securing arm B to the plateA. F is a coiled spring, made of spring metal suitable for the purpose,and used between projections C and D on plate A and arm B.. It worksdirectly under the pin E, and in a direction nearly similar or parallelwith the direction oi' coiled spring within the space embraced betweenthe legs, the depending projection, and the vertical iiange. The springand its coils thus work in the direction of the tace-plate, directlyunderneath the pivoting-pin, the rear end bearing on the dependingprojection, and the front end resting on the rear side ot' the verticalange rising from the plate. In this way all the parts are. brought intoa compactclose body, enabling, in a limited space, the use of aneiiieient coiled spring with suflicient elasticity and power to operatethe arm andV roller without breaking or setting, and obviating thenecessity of cutting away or removing a large portion ot' the 'jamb ofthe windowt'ra-me. These several important features, it would seemalmost unnecessary here to say, cannot be found in the construction orarrangement ot' parts illustrated or described in any ot' my formerpatents, including those ot' December 20, 1870, and April S, 1873.

I claim as my invention- In a sash holder, the combination of the plateA, having the upward projection C, with the rocking arm B, having thedepending projection D, and pivoted above the' projection (l, the coiledspring F, and roller H, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
